Let us recognize today a heroic woman who parlayed her resourcefulness and hustle into a scheme that involved her convincing her 20 boyfriends to buy her 20 new iPhone 7s, which she then sold, using the profits to put a down payment on a house.

According to the BBC, a Chinese blogger using the pseudonym Proud Qiaoba shared this astounding tale about her friend Xiaoli (also a pseudonym), who sold the 20 iPhone 7s for a total 120,000 Chinese yuan (about $18,000) to a tech resale company, then used this money to pay for a new home.

While the BBC was unable to confirm whether this fantastic narrative was entirely true, they did, however confirm that the resale company did, indeed, buy 20 new iPhones 7s from a woman in early October.

May we all approach our goals with this scope of vision in the future.

In a preview for Jay Leno’s web series appropriately titled, Jay Leno’s Garage, Biden drives around Leno in his very own 1967 Corvette Stingray, an achingly cool car that Biden has only been able to drive a total of three times in the past seven-plus years because vice presidents are not permitted to drive themselves while in office.

During their ride together, Biden not only reveals that he “likes speed” and has driven at 160 mph, but he also does a very impressive burnout within minutes of them driving, yet another reason why Joe Biden is a cool dude.

But police officer Deuntay Diggs might be one of Queen Bey’s biggest fans.

Footage of Officer Diggs enthusiastically recreating the exact choreography to “Formation” at a pep rally at North Stafford High School in Virginia last week has gone viral.

Diggs, who says he is the first openly gay deputy to serve at the Stafford County Sheriff’s Office on his personal site, told Buzzfeed that his decision to perform “Formation” came as a result of both his desire to let students know that they should feel free to express themselves and succeed and also to change the conversation surrounding police work.

“The reason I’m doing this is to show kids that they can make it, that they can survive, that they can be successful,” he said. “I’ve been very fortunate, at this time when people look negatively upon law enforcement, that I’m able to change that narrative and open up some conversations and engage with people.”

Diggs actually learned the choreography two months ago for lip-syncing contest to benefit children, citing that he’s a “huge Beyoncé fan,” but brought it out again for the pep rally last week.

Mean Girls Day is so two weeks ago. It’s October 13, the best day of the year, Treat Yo Self day!

Although Parks and Recreation is off the air, it doesn’t mean that we stop celebrating Treat Yo Self day, which is why Retta blessed us with a tweet letting us know that she too is enjoying the best day of the year. She later even congratulated some lucky Tweeters on how they were celebrating the day.

Not convinced? Just take a look at the rave reviews that have rolled in for his Izod, 1/4 zip sweater on Amazon after he sported a bright, tomato-red version of it during the debates.

Reviewer Christopher C. Curtis said that, “Some heroes wear capes. Others wear IZOD Men’s Cable sweaters with a quarter length zipper,” while reviewer billygumdrop wrote of his XX-Large sweater that “If it’s good enough for Ken Bone, it’s good enough for me. Power to the people!!!”

Other reviews include:

“I was inspired by future President of the United States Ken Bone. I love everything he stands for and that includes beautiful quarter zip red sweaters. #4yearsofsweaterweather” — Timothy Chippy

“What an amazing sweater. So happy to be ordering the same sweater the man, the myth, and the legend, Ken Bone wore.” — Joseph

In a Reddit forum, he posted about using his Blockbuster (you know, that chain store of yesteryear where people rented movies before there was Netflix) membership card to prove that he was legal.

“It took about 15 tries, but I was finally able to buy beer using my blockbuster membership as proof of age,” he wrote.

Those looking to also forgo traditional forms of identification might consider bringing back other markers of your advanced age — CD collections, original boy band merchandise — the possibilities are endless.

Sarah MacDonald has garnered not only the honor of being homecoming queen but also the queen of the internet’s hearts by dressing up in an inflatable T-Rex costume (complete with a festive yellow tutu, because, this was a formal occasion, after all) to claim her rightful crown. No bouffant dress or copious amounts of Aqua Net needed.

Jennifer Favela, a 35-year-old Burbank mother, had no idea she was pregnant until her water broke early in the morning of Labor Day.

“Shocked is an understatement,” she told CBS News. “I woke up in the middle of the night just thinking I had a stomachache.”

Favela, who is also the mother of a 13-year-old and 7-year-old, says she never had morning sickness and her husband Jeff Parungoa says that the only hint he saw was that his wife had gained a little bit of weight.

Parungoa delivered the baby boy in the family’s hallway while on the phone with 911. He relied on what he saw when his other kids were born, according to CBS.

The couple broadcast their ambulance ride via Snapchat and posted on Facebook, where many offered congratulations to the surprised couple.

Devoted budding scientist Oliver is here to show you how he whips up a small tornado in a jar at home.

In a video that’s getting traction on Reddit, he creates a tornado out of a few regular household items, but his delivery is more endlessly entertaining than watching the tornado form.

Oliver has really intense, entirely adorable feelings about the scientific facts. “Tornadoes dance, that’s how they destroy stuff,” he warns. He makes tornadoes in jars look so easy, and his shirt may just be a regular shirt, but it’s probably a lab coat, so he’s a mad scientist.

This is the first episode of “Oliver’s Science Lab,” and it includes a brief overview of the Fujita scale that you need. Watch below.

Justin Bieber gave four lucky kids the thrill of a lifetime when he featured them as dancers during the Minneapolis, Minn., concert stop on his Purpose tour.

Beliebers submitted YouTube dance audition videos to enter to win the chance to dance alongside the Biebs in concert. Wisely, Bieber outsourced a portion of the entertainment to the children for the song “Children” at the Target Center on Sunday night. Check out these adorable kid moves in the video below.

The only kid without formal dance training, eight-year-old Duluth youth Ryan Bordeau, stands out. Watch his audition tape, and you’ll see why he was among the chosen ones.

“When the show was over, it was crazy to see so many people recognized the kids and wanted pictures or autographs,” Ryan’s mother Amy Bordeau, told TIME. “[They] wanted to touch his hand because he touched Justin Bieber. It was quite the experience for a novice!”

Fellow kid dancer Ivanna Vaitkus might have the kicks, but no one does the swimming through the air arms like Ryan.

Watch below (starting around 0:27,) as he dances energetically and adorably. Don’t miss the end when he exits like a real smoothie.
